I'm slowly catching up on the rather large backlog of painting projects. A few weeks ago it was the DBA Minoans, now it's the majority of the long unpainted Epic Space Marine forces. Tonight, a unit of Whirlwinds, another of Land Speeders, and two each of Terminators and Devastators finally left the recruiting depots and hit the table and took the limelight with a photo oppoprtunity.

The remainder of the Epic Space Marine forces are a mix of Chapters, but these reinforcements are all Blood Angels.. no reason other than that I like the colour red on the table top, it is easy to see with my slightly dodgy eye sight.

They were all undercoated black, then given a base coat of Scab red, a highlight of Blood Red, a Badab Black wagh, and then highlighted with a red/yellow mix, before detials were picked out.

There's still a little to go, a Titan and two Warhound Scout Titans, and a Thunderhawk. We'll get there. Now.. where was I? Oh yes, there are some rather cool flyers for the British VSF HotT army waiting for some attention. Stay watching.

About Me

Public admission time: it was back in the late '60s that I began 'gaming along with a great group of friends. I game a wide range of periods, but my all time favourite rules set is 'Volley and Bayonet' by Frank Chadwick. I am also a great fan of the Spearhead stable of rules, especially Great War Spearhead written by Shawn Taylor. Most recently I have become a convert to HotT (Hordes of the Things, the fantasy variant of DBA). I also play DBA and Armati, with a smattering of the GW rules.
